Can a mod delete me from this? If I actually die I don't want someone to copy that post and write "whoa" under it. They would just be scolded by someone else, and then fred b would post something like "oh so that is out of line but it was ok for darraghmac to call me the c word?" It would just spiral from there and I want to get ahead of this, as my dying wish.

I have a strong apocalyptic feeling about 2017, so if there's a dead pool next year I'm gonna take a risk and fill my ballot with celebrity babies. sorry, Prince Alexander Duke of Södermanland, but if the world ends next year, you're going with it, and I may as well get some posthumous fake internet points out of the deal.
